Royal Army

“Selfless citizens with hearts and minds fixed on the glory of Kyrat. The cruel and bloodthirsty Golden Path forced them to take up arms against their countrymen and women. Join today and do your part for Kyrat.”— King Min's Kyrat

The Royal Army was Pagan Min's personal army that ruled over Kyrat in Far Cry 4. The "General of the Army" was Paul De Pleur, who also served as their "Chief Interrogator". An elite group of the Army, The Royal Guard, patrolled the northern areas of the map and guarded Min's palace.

Royal Army from King Min's Kyrat in Danish, with English added above.

Background

After Pagan Min betrayed the Royalists and seized the throne for himself, he created an army made of Kyrati citizens loyal to him (most likely the Nationalists) in order to enforce his rule over the land, they quickly became embroiled in a constant fight with the newly formed Golden Path shortly after the start of Pagan's regime. Mostly they are usually in the Midlands and/or the north. Not much of them are found in the Terai area.

After the death/departure of Pagan Min, the fate of the Army is unknown.

Types

The Royal Army is made up of several classes of infantry, with varying equipment and specializations. Below are the Royal Army types.

Many soldiers show a disdain for fighting, unlike the more elite Royal Guard. Some even say they considered joining the Golden Path, and as the game progresses it becomes evident that many have deserted.

In the map editor, The Royal Army and Royal Guard will not start to attack each other if they encounter each other. The Royal Army and Guard can be seen working together as a team and fight alongside against the Golden Path Rebels.
